    Why is that so? Interesting that you know so many racists.

    I don’t think this is true. I suspect that instead of Bowles’ simple one-way model of ideas going only from media to peoples’ minds, the media also reports on ideas because they are on peoples’ minds.

    If the right wing media stopped talking about election fraud, would all right-wing election skeptics accept the election outcome that very minute? Seems extremely implausible to me.

    Does anyone on the right here want to try to explain why there were only 3 (now 4 with an interim HC) Black head coaches in the NFL?

    Wait, @QGator2414, you’re giving me an off topic for responding directly to the central claim in your own original post?

    92% of NFL coaches are white. 8% are black coaches. Blacks
    Make up 13% of the population. Are you bent out of shape grumpy again because it doesn’t perfectly match?
    Looks like if we got a two or three more black head coaches all would be right in your world.
    What did I miss?

    Yes. The only people talking election fraud still are the ones trying to deflect from the terrible job biden and the dems have done.

    There are college degrees and careers that require it.

    And the only people praising Bowles' comments are the ones trying to deflect from racism.

    Don't forget that Mike McDaniel counts as 0.25 black NFL coaches. Science!

    Don't worry. Subpar/mediocre white rookie coaches Nathaniel Hackett and Brandon Staley will probably be fired after this season, only to be replaced by other subpar/mediocre white coaches.

    No. They are the ones that treat people as people. Regardless of race. But as Bowles put it. When you guys stop looking at people as odd balls and making a big deal about it…everyone else will as well.

    Congrats on winning the post partisan post of the day! What a truly asinine thing to say. Not surprised you said it.

    I'm guessing if the percentages were reversed the issue would be changed to 'well, they're not HEAD coaches'. Assistant coaches wouldn't count. Not sure what would happen if 13% of head coaches were black. Find something else to complain about I suppose.

    I see you’re skipping my central thesis to focus on the particular example I gave. Let’s use your example then. Imagine a head coach, Bodd Towles, said this:

    “The moment the right wing media stops focusing on the terrible job that Biden and the dems have done, everyone else will as well.”

    Did this Bodd Towles “nail it”?
